Enforcement of the LEZ began in June and some private hire drivers aren't compliant with the requirements.
A trade body has called for a more “sympathetic” approach to private hire drivers who are struggling to meet Low Emission Zone requirements, after three licences were revoked.
Unity Jackson, J Mac Cars and Cars 4 U 1 Ltd had private hire car licences revoked as their vehicles don’t meet the LEZ standards. They did not attend the licensing meeting. “Yet they ignored it and went ahead anyway,” he said. “We’re now seeing the impact of that stubbornness, with private hire drivers losing their livelihoods during a global cost-of-living crisis.
“Such a move will give breathing space and a lifeline to those drivers struggling to make the economic ends meet.”
